SELF-PROMOTION
SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION
I am a bit conflicted about my upcoming
Word Event You see I peak between 10 &
11 a.m. It starts at 1 p.m. long after I am
pumping out juicy marketing ideas: cookies! hatpins! bookmarks!
Hi-wattage smile Unearth family charisma
often illusive & indolent At least said Event
is on a Friday When at sunset a second-soul
will alight to help me fight despair
Today it is well past 3 and I sit in a library 19th C
Windows onto a gorgeous courtyard entombed in
ice Fountain wears a shroud of white Water barely
visible Icy ejaculation will burst forth come Spring
I sit beside rows of books in the Canadian Poetry Room
The Gay Grey Moose
Distinctly Narcissistic
Foreplay
The Pioneer Woman
It is difficult to be pithy with the weight of our
word-history all around me From Cohen to Carson
Two poets who I am sure never coaxed readers with
promises of bon bons bijoux and gift cards from
Come As You Are
